Josh Heupel and Tennessee’s refusal to give in to Nico Iamaleava’s NIL desires was a high-profile stand.
One with an impact that could go well beyond Knoxville.
On today’s episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin and ‘Locked On Vols’ host Eric Cain discuss Tennessee’s all-but-official addition of QB Joey Aguilar from UCLA.
Is he guaranteed to be Josh Heupel’s next starting QB? (10:41)
Tennessee was once rumored to be a target spot for Notre Dame transfer QB Steve Angeli.
He’s now expected to go to Syracuse, adding more chaos to a wild QB situation for HC Fran Brown. (19:39)
